Question

Diana is painting statues. She has 7/8 of a liter of paint remaining Each statue requires 1/16 of a liter of paint. How many statues can she paint?

Answer 1

She can paint 14 statues.

To find this answer, we just need to divide the amount of paint left by the amount of paint per statue.

7/8 divided by 1/16 is 14. To divide fractions remember it is easier to multiply by the reciprocal.
